    Ofsted has recognised the benefits of creative learning and of the Creative Partnerships' programme in its latest report: "Learning: Creative approaches that raise standards".  The report found that creative learning practices in schools are improving standards and pupils' personal development.

    • Creative Partnerships schools have seen "notable improvements in their levels of achievement and in measurable aspects of personal development, such as attendance";
    • School leaders were confident about the value of the programme and its impact on teaching and learning;
    • One secondary school saw "a marked rise in attainment, from only 9% of students gaining five or more A* to C grades at GCSE, including English and Mathematics, in 2005 to 34% in 2007".
